Decreased hurtox when crouching, st/ cr. lp buffs, dmg buff for st.mp and cr.hp is very welcome. The cr.mp, st.hp CC, low hit cr.mk have to be my favourite additions. Cannot wait to lab some of these changes! Balrog climbing up the tiers boys!

1062

Standing HP:
Changed to a crush counter move

thats very nice!

he seems to get the better side of the coin with his changes when i read that stuff right…which i am not sure off :pensive:

1063

every change here is basically what I wanted. Decreased the distance of pushback on-hit and pushback on-block for st.mk, yesyesyes

1064

so i can continue to learn him without to feel i waste my time…good…good…

1065

I feel like his stomp target combo is going to be pretty butt easy to land now into VT since the first hit hits low now. People already always got hit by the second hit a lot for some reason, and I notice that most people just block standing when I would attempt to land that combo most of the time. I’m sure they will adapt though.

1066

Most people assume Rog has no lows, and try to backwalk out of pressure. It should stop come S2 though.

1067

Guess it’s time to learn timing/how to charge back after this input change.

How does anyone else feel about the motion change on this move?

1068

They increased the lift so you should have more time to get charge… I think it’s fine.

1069

I dunno though, I caught A LOT of people with cr.mk in SF4 too. Most people expected cr.mp or cr.lp so they were not really watching their ankles.

1070

Other than playing around with it to see how the timing of trying to get a back charge right after, I really like it. I dunno why but I always had a little bit of trouble trying to 2-in-1 into that move compared to back charge moves. I also had trouble timing the EX version on wakeup sometimes. I don’t know why because I’ve played Rog since SF4 but I just did have trouble with it in SF5 sometimes.

I think the dp motion will get rid of the random struggles I have and make it easier to land. It will also make it a lot easier to land as an anti-air attack because you don’t have to be charging. But it has to be spaced properly. There was one video of Smug using it as an AA from far away.

1071

When you realise it allows you to convert from st.hk CC into like 340 damage, this change is probably the best one Balrog received.

1072

Holy damn, I didn’t even realize that. And now with s.HP getting a CC too, we might get the same combo from that. Very nice.

1073

S. Hp puts you in a similar state as guiles b.hp CC… it knocks you down

1074

Aye, you might be able to OS his super or VTC from it now though like you can with other CC normals. So again, another huge gamechanger for his poking game.

1075

I know in the corner you can go into st hp(CC) xx VTrigger, EX low xx upper xx VSkill P

Not sure about midscreen

1076

400+ damage, 600+ stun for just 2 bars. Hahahahaha, what a BEAST.

1077

That first one is going to be the new BnB when crush countering with st.hk. It is a lot easier to charge the rush punch than I thought it would be, due to the buffer on inputting the upper and it’s pretty slow animation. That nets you 313 meterless and if you just juggle with EX it gives you 363 I think it was.

1078

Someone told me we’d lost juggles after the hk.screw upper which is why I was so angry about the change. Knowing he has all of his juggle intact means that this is just a gigantic buff to Balrog.

I think he’s easily top 10 now considering the global changes, his strong anti-air toolset and improved pressure with less pushback on st.mk and a + on block cr.mp. Thank god I’ve been sticking with Balrog.

1079

tfw i keep messing up c. fierce into heavy upper

1080

Yea the juggle isn’t gone, all screw uppers with the exception of ex actually launch the opponent higher.
